What are the white marks down the middle? Are those limbers you glassed over and need to cut out?

Will you only limber the middle section? Curious the rationale is all.

Not trying to indict you. I have just seen some guys build these as dry bilges and have doubts about that in reality.

Do you plan water there and a bilge pump?

Yes, all other voids to be filled with foam.

Possibly, yes on the pump.

So how will water get into the bilge? Just a question.

I suppose my greatest concern is a leaking fuel tank. Second would be water intrusion.
I'm just trying to foresee the what ifs.

So the limbers are more like telltales. That is fine.

You probably will have a bilge pump that gets zero use.
